Monthly Household Budget & Expenses

Tomorrow will be the 1st month since we officially move in to our new house.
Now we are really learning how to be independent.
It such a great feeling to have our very own HOUSE and we are doing our best in making it a real happy HOME.

We just received our 1st Billings.
now it's time to learn how to Maximize our Budget and Minimize our Expenses.

Here's a detailed summary of our 1st Month (January) Household Bills and Other Expenses
Php 7,000+
Since we had visitors last January,.
Hoping our Electricity Bill will reduce this coming month.

Php500+
I find it very affordable considering we are using showers when taking a bath.

Php 15,000+
We do our grocery thrice a month. It includes our food, our kids nappy, sack of rice, kids snack, Kimi's milk etc.

Php 5,000
Kimi's Mulberry Hills Manila Toddler Tuition Fee is 5K per month exclusive of other fees.

Php 8,000
Php4,000 for each Yaya


Other Expenses:
Khloe's Milk Php 4,600 per box of 6's

We just had a Total of Php40,000+ expenses for our first month.
This doesn't include other expenses such as Leisure (eat-out, toys and clothes etc.), Phone and Internet connection (under process), Insurance and Health Cards, Gas, House Amortization, Postpaid Bills (i have 2 postpaid lines while hubby has 3) etc.

Hay...Thank God i had a very hard working hubby who provides everything for us.
Hoping by next month we can reduce some of the expenses and omit unimportant ones.

I also found this useful Household Monthly Budget in Excel Form which you can fill up, it may help and guide you on your budgeting task.

This will be a BIG adjustment for us because we are used to Mommy's care.
Now we need to officially take care of our own lives. 
From simple plans on what to eat, how to save, about budgeting, different errands and a lot more.
Wish us luck!

Umbra @ Dimensione

Last December, during our house stuff and gift hunting...Hubby just got fixed to Dimensione. He just love the modern and cute things found inside the store, most specially Umbra Products. He doesn't want to waste time going from one store to another, plus the people are really piling up making the mall and other boutiques so crowded. So he just stick to his 1st option, which is... buying all the gifts for his staff, friends and family at  Dimensione

Here are some of the cute products he bought for personal use:
Umbra Wine Rack (Php2,000+)
Umbra Cubby Organizer: For the remote control and car keys (Php2,000)
Umbra Venue Jewelry Storage (Php1,200)
"Hubby and my kids Christmas Gift to me. I So love it!"
Meidi Wall Clock:  for the Playroom (Php700)
Thanks again for the gift Idol!

House Blessing

Last Sunday, 25th day of December 2011, was the blessing of our new house. It was a quadrupole celebration because aside from the (1) birth of Christ (Christmas), it was also the (2) birthday of my brother (Christian/Nino), (3) The Reyes Clan Reunion plus the (4) House Warming. We're happy because finally our new house will have God's Blessing and the special day was indeed filled with laughter, love and fun.
